Abstract (en)
The coupler has a fiber holder for holding an optical fiber, and a lens holder (1) for holding a focusing lens. The holders are adjustable in axial and/or transversal direction. The holders are connected with a base plate (3) by flexible solid joints (2). The joint of the holder (1) has a higher flexural rigidity when transverse to an optical axis. The joint of the fiber holder has higher flexural rigidity when parallel to the axis.
